FUNCTIONAL RETINAL GANGLION CELL ACTIVITY FOLLOWING LIGHT-INDUCED RETINAL DAMAGE IN MICE
(2019-05-01)The scotopic threshold response (STR) of the electroretinogram (ERG) is thought to measure inner retinal function, specifically retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). However, the degree to which the STR is masked by the larger ... -
FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MONO- AND DIPYRROLIC COMPOUNDS
(2017-02-02)Chemical manipulations of pyrrolic compounds can often prove to be difficult. This is especially true for dipyrrins. As a result of this, methodology development for the chemical manipulation of pyrrolic compounds is of ... -
FUNCTIONS AND ORIGINS OF MITOCHONDRION-RELATED ORGANELLES IN ANAEROBIC PROTISTS
(2016-01-14)Across the diversity of life, organisms have evolved different strategies to thrive in hypoxic environments – microbial eukaryotes (protists) are no exception; protists that experience hypoxia often possess metabolically ... -
THE FUNCTIONS OF MOUSE SPINAL V3 INTERNEURONS IN LOCOMOTION
(2020-08-28)V3 interneurons (INs) are a major group of glutamatergic commissural neurons in the mouse spinal cord. They directly innervate motor neurons (MNs) as well as other ventral INs. Although it has been shown that V3 INs are ... -
Functions of the Yeast GTPase-Activating Proteins Age1 and Gcs1 for Post-Golgi Vesicular Transport
(2011-09-06)Organelles within the endomembrane system of all eukaryotic cells exchange membrane lipids and proteins using membrane-bound transport vesicles. This highly conserved vesicular transport process is essential for life and ... -
FUNGICIDAL SELECTION PRESSURE ON MONILINIA VACCINII-CORYMBOSI (READE) HONEY IN WILD BLUEBERRY (VACCINIUM AUNGUSTIFOLIUM AITON)
(2016-08-31)Propiconazole has been extensively used throughout the wild blueberry industry for Monilinia blight control over the past 20 years. Given the apparent loss of Monilinia blight control observed in field research trials and ... -
Further Studies in Adenosinergic and Monoaminergic Mechanisms of Analgesia by Amitriptyline
(2012-08-23)In this thesis, rodent models of chronic pain were used to explore analgesic mechanisms that may potentially be engaged in spinal and peripheral compartments by systemically-administered amitriptyline, a tricyclic ... -
Fusion of Deformable and Biomechanical Models for Tracking Left Ventricular Endocardium by Echocardiography
(2013-11-18)Biomedical image processing is a very important research area. Image analysis is one of the most important techniques in studies related to heart functions. The clinical assessment of LV function is very important to ... -
A FUTURE FOR A FORGOTTEN PREDATOR: ASSESSMENT OF THE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORKS FOR PROTECTION AND RECOVERY OF THE CARIBBEAN SAWFISHES PRISTIS PRISTIS AND PRISTIS PECTINATA AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COURSE FORWARD
(2016-09-06)Two species of sawfish, Pristis pristis and Pristis pectinata, used to be common in the coastal waters of the Caribbean Region. However, due to direct and incidental fishing pressures, national and international trade in ... -
